Nothing like being woken up by an Earthquake

wbr · 4/18/08, 11:36 AM

The first one woke me up and it went on for quite a bit. the house sounded like it was falling apart, but it didn't.
D.O- that was some fart:rolling

Just had another "aftershock" here in crawfordsville at 11:15.

USGS is saying a 4.6 right now just about 45 minutes ago. It was similar to the one this morning, but shorter.

Didn't feel either one. I was at my job in Poplar Bluff when the first quake happened. Right before I went back from my lunch break at 5:00 I heard from CNN on our break room's tv that it happened. My supervisor however did feel it in her office and some others on first shift said they felt it as well.

I didnt feel the second aftershock in Bloomington, although I was sleeping about an hour ago..lol

I think we've felt about 4 here today. The 5.2, one about 5 minutes later. A pretty minor one an hour or so later and now the 4.6 just over an hour ago at this time. Its really quite unnerving for someone that can remember 2 others in their lifetime and both were small and short.

The one this morning got me out of bed. I also felt the one at 11:15 or so. They say this may go on for a few days.

I was working late at the mall in Columbus Indiana in late 1987 when one hit there. Shook the crap out of the folding gates covering the drugstore doors. Shook the crap out of my nerves too.

That was the last one I can remember before today. Slept through the first one, but felt the aftershock at 10:45. Even on the 7th floor of a 80 year old 13 story building you could still feel it.

Maybe one of the sinkholes that are forming in Southern Indiana can be used as a high bank dirt track.:idea:
